When Can I Upgrade to iPhone 4S? [Check Eligibility in US + UK + Ireland]

How to check your iPhone 4S upgrade price and eligibility on AT&T, Sprint, Verizon, Orange UK, and Three Ireland.

In some countries, you get a discount on mobile phones if you sign a contract. Here are the tools to see if you qualify for the discounted iPhone 4S price for US (AT&T, Sprint, Verizon), United Kingdom, and Ireland.

US Apple Online Tool for AT&T + Sprint + Verizon

Apple Online Tool: Existing AT&T, Sprint, and Verizon customers can use the Apple online tool. It’ll show you iPhone 4S price if you pre-order tomorrow (or when you’ll be eligible for contract price that starts $199).

Update: Apple added Sprint.

AT&T Upgrade Eligibility

To check upgrade status with AT&T, dial: *639# on your AT&T phone. You’ll get a text after a few minutes. It’ll be either:

AT&T iPhone 4S Upgrade Eligible

“We can offer you an upgrade”

This means you can get iPhone 4S from $199.

AT&T iPhone 4S Upgrade Pricing and Eligible Date

“You may qualify on [date]. We can offer you a discounted iPhone upgrade”

This means you have to pay $250 + iPhone contract price starting $199.

Either way, you’ll sign a new 2 year contract and pay “upgrade fee”. Working for a large company or organization? Check to see if your company has an AT&T corporate discount here.
